From RE families and helpers letter for Friday March 4th

Happy March (I actually love the pun of tomorrow's date --will any of you be marching forth?) and hurrah for the lengthening days!

Last week I published the blogs of two of our RE families, as I announced the launch of this one –Please « meet » Laurel Tidman, mom of Clara and Leo, at http://clarabandleo.blogspot.com/
And check out Gail Schwartz’s thoughts about parenting at http://www.twodykesandaboyby.blogspot.com/, She is partner to Lucie Gagnon and mom to baby Alexi.
And, I asked RE families to send me THEIR OWN URLs, to circulate, so we all get to know each other a bit better! So now here are two more people’s blogs who are part of our RE community :
1. Yoga leader Eliza Moore can be found at :http://www.elizamoore.com/ . . . She performed her music during our services last year, and is the mother of baby Xavier. She also says that she and her husband “jeremy are about to release a single on feb 28th for our new band "JE". www.myspace.com/weareje --we are really excited about this project!! The itunes link is: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/magic-single/id422115984

2. Ariel Hunt-Brondwin is the CUC National Youth and Young Adult Programmer whom some of you may have met during the Eastern Regional Gathering in November. She writes a blog about the work she’s doing, which you can see at Gather the spirit, harvest the power http://www.yayacuc.blogspot.com/

Finally, a word about the stairwell bulletin boards –I have agreed to let the new Art Committee take over the stairwell, and although I am sad to lose those areas to share material relevant to our programs and the opportunities to have had some visual fun doing so, it means I might spend a bit less time here, AND we’ll get to see some great professional art shows –first opening will be May 6th, so watch for it! However, I would really love some feedback about whether any of you have any time to read what we put up? I seldom see people looking at any of the boards (and there are still two, one outside the Nursery and one on the lowest level, outside the Chapel), and would really appreciate response about what you do notice or would like to see posted . . . ditto for the RE pages of the website.
